I have watched Eurovision every year since 2009, and have become actively involved in the fan culture since 2016! My favorite songs are usually pop songs, but I am certainly not opposed to ballads or rock. If the song is good, I will like it!
As an Amsterdam native, I am very lucky to visit Eurovision in Concert each year. In 2020, Rotterdam would have been my first time attending the contest, so now I have my fingers crossed for 2021.
